TECHNIQUE: Feet are hip width apart with weight in the heels and mid foot. Begin the movement by performing the Russian kettlebell swing. As you hinge you the weight back into your hips, drive your heels into the floor hard bringing your hips into full extension. Keeping the Kettlebell close to your body, shrug your shoulder and push tall into the bell. Receive the bell with active lats and neutral wrists. ADVANTAGES: The kettlebell snatch combines shoulders, hips, and core in a challenging strength and conditioning exercise. FAULTS: Common faults include not hinging at the hips (poor glute engagement, weak core (low back flexion), and receiving with bent wrists. (improper shoulder mechanics) SCALING: Movement can be scaled down to an American snatch. This requires less movement and can be easier to learn the mechanics of proper hip and shoulder function in the snatch.
